During our snow storm last we week when we were stuck in the house, Lindsey and I were bored and needed to come up with something creative to do. She had just had her cast replaced and it was just plain white. Empty space means a place to be creative. Grandma was working on a quilt and she had some scrapes of fabric hanging around. So we had the idea of Mod Podging Lindsey's cast with the quilt scrapes.
We began by cutting out the flowers from the scrape fabric.
Then using the Mod Podge and a sponge brush we started to cover the cast with the flowers being careful to smoothe out the fabric and overlap as we went. We coverd the whole cast leaving the inside of the palm clear.
Lindsey then used a blow dryer to set the Mod Podge. We then put a second coat on just to make sure that all of the edges of fabric were well secured.
And there you have it a DIY cute cast.

I love this! Definitely the best looking cast I've ever seen!

Looks way better than all the magic marker that was replaced.

great idea -- and I bet the Modpodge will help keep the cast clean -- thanks for sharing
